après coup = afterthought Explanation: Unfortunately not quite as thrilling as you hoped... Straight from the dictionary (Harrap New Shorter French-English Dictionary) Note: "after-effect" in English would have been the right translation for "contre coup" in French ... See the following examples: "À l'inverse, l'école allemande privilégie les mécanismes, toujours simples et souvent très originaux, au détriment du thème, généralement trouvé après coup." "By contrast, the so-called German school favours the mechanics, always simple and often very original, to the detriment of the theme, which is generally an afterthought. " http://faidutti.free.fr/jeux/articles/creer/creer.html "La légende du monde créé en six jours fut une pensée venue après coup, en fait plus de trente-mille ans plus tard." "The legend of the making of the world in six days was an afterthought, in fact more than twenty thousand years afterwards." http://www.google.com/search?q=cache:www.urantia.org/france/... "On pardonnera à un esprit cynique de suspecter que les «objec- tifs» distincts attribués aux deux formations ont été définis après coup et sont davantage un prétexte pour justifier la situation actuelle qu'une volonté délibérée." "A cynic might be excused for suspecting that the separate "objectives" we now accept for the 2 were developed as an afterthought and are more of an excuse for the situation rather than a real intent." http://www.google.com/search?q=cache:www.caep.ca/pdf/summerc... |

[which creates a subtle but] lasting impression Explanation: Hardly brave or brillant... J'ai tout de suite songé à "delayed reaction", mais ce n'est pas le ton qui convient. PUIS, au domaine de la psychologie: à la notion de "need arousal"; "drive arousal", serait un jeu de mots sur un phénomène psychologique et le sujet de vos annonces publicitaires. (On peut y retrouver la notion d'après coup.) C'est peut-être plus la référence à l'impression durable", celle de "trace", comme un petit air insidieux qui trotte dans la tête, non? ... important quand on connaît les obsessions des publicitaires : attirer l'attention et la retenir. r�flexions diverses |
